Featured Members of the Month
Linda Le has been churning out her great interviews with Emergen members, including profiling me on International Women's Day! Check out the two interviews below....
"I cannot find anyone more fitting to feature on Emergen’s International Women’s Day blogging drive than its very own creator. Here we have a driven and inspirational woman who started to firmly imprint her footprints into the world at a very young age. Having started and been involved in a number of initiatives such as Millennium Kids; a development program for business and professional women; and this community, Emergen, she maintains her very humble stance and forgets to mention her State President role in the National Speakers Association Australia and the Young Women's Leadership Program that she created and coordinated for a group of amazing young women. Her commitment to serving others and her compassion for the world around us has inspired many and we will foresee the ripple effect that she has created in the years to come. It is an honor to introduce to you Alicia Curtis, this feature is not to be missed. " Check out the interview here. 
"It's time to unravel another one of Emergen's many talented people. This time I'd like you to meet featured member Kristy Warrick. I fear that if I introduced you to Kristy in this section, it will undo the whole point of what she tried to do when we asked her to tell us about herself. However, please do read on to learn more about Kristy, she is involved in the SIFE program at Curtin University and is willing to share some valuable lessons that she has learnt with us. I look forward to hearing your feedback on Kristy!" Read the piece here.
